Skarrild is a village (Danish: landsby) in Herning Municipality (Danish, kommune) in Central Denmark Region (Danish, Region Midtjylland), a part of the Jutland peninsula in northern Denmark. It is notable as the location of the Danish Blues Guitar Festival and a memorial to RAF flyers who died there in 1944.
In 1944, it was the site of a deadly air skirmish during World War II near its Romanesque church, at which there is a memorial to the Royal Air Force fliers who died there. On 27 August 1944, a seven-member RAF crew in a Lancaster ME650 from East Kirkby were killed in a crash when a German plane shot it down.
The Danish Folk, Blues, and Ragtime Guitar Festival in Skarrild attracts many international entertainers, including Thomasina Winslow.
